Father's Day

Tania and I spent a quiet Father's Day by attending church, grocery shopping and watching an afternoon movie at home. Since the kids were busy this weekend they requested that a family get together be postponed until next weekend. Tania only needed one pain pill for the day.

Yesterday I helped Tania make scrambled eggs for breakfast. She cracked the eggs, stirred them with a fork and turned them in the pan while they were cooking. She is walking more with the new walker and her voice is getting stronger. On Saturday she graduated from "home-bound" physical and occupational therapy to "out-patient" status. She will now be going to a private gym (that also has a swimming pool) about eight miles from home two or three times a week for therapy.

Diminishing Pain

This morning was the first time since Mother's Day that Tania did not complain of pain when she got up from bed. The doctor's appointment with the spinal specialist on Friday went well and he said that he did not have to see her again after he reviewed the x-rays.

I got Tania a new walker that has four wheels and brakes on the handles. She is doing very well with it. Travis and Saydie came over this afternoon and we got to see Saydie walk for the first time. It is great to see grammy and grand daughter walking at the same time.

Therapeutic Massage

This afternoon Tania received her second therapeutic massage since she fractured her T-12 vertebrae. David came to our home with his table and worked on her muscles for about an hour. Tania said it felt "heavenly".

She is still having intermittent pain, but the intensity level is diminishing. We plan to see a spinal specialist doctor this coming Friday for his advice. We hope that her therapy schedule can resume in approximately one week. Thanks for your prayers.
